Thanks for all of the ideas guys, I am torn at the moment between a stock trailer that I could haul other things in as well or building boxes and compartments for hogs and dogs on my 20' trailer.  I have a few restrictions that I am trying to work around that is making my decision harder.  If I put a hog box on the trailer how do I load-unload several hogs say from the box to my pen and then from my pen to the box.  I also can't haul my mule side ways like you could most 4wheelers because it is right at 10' long and would stick out over each side too far. 
I have myself convinced on the stock trailer idea since I could back right up to the pen for loading and unloading etc but at 3-4K for a good one I am trying to think of anyway to have a trailer that will function the same and yet not cost as much.....to date I have not found it.  NT and Bryant, how do yall get your hogs from the standard trailers?  It seems the only way for that to work is to put the hog box on the back like your trailer is Bryant, I like the idea of the hog box in the front but it would be a pain to get hogs in and out of the the box.  If I have the hog box on the back then I have to drive my mule over the box and that is a pain in the arse.  Keep the pics and ideas coming fellas.
